New to You Laptops: the series

posted in Uncategorized |

On my regular blog, for reasons that are mostly historical, there is tag-team blogging going on between me and a fellow religious blogger by the name of Scott Wells. The issue is - using used laptops with Linux (specifically Ubuntu) for cash-strapped churches or nonprofits. I realized that the series would be of interest here. So:

  • First, Scott starts off with the main issue: what kind of laptop would be good for running Ubuntu
  • I follow up with an answer sort of from the horse’s mouth, and ask a follow up question about how to get people to use Linux.
  • He answers my question quite deftly, and asks some more questions
  • And I follow up with some details about why linux is so great for used computers.

We’ll see how far this goes…
